The image shows a woman partially visible through a slightly opened door, with only her head and part of her torso from the shoulders to the waist visible. She is positioned slightly to the left as she peeks through the door. Her facial features are not distinctly clear, but she appears to have dark, mid-length hair styled away from her face. Her clothing appears to be a light-colored top or dress. The woman is making light contact with the door handle. There are no visible jewelry pieces or other objects with her. The background mainly consists of a dark wooden door. The writing on the photograph's border reads "Sandra Butenhoff, March 1956" in blue ink.
